A student visa may be extended, or approved if the intl student takes on a new course of study from an accredited source. If he washed out of the approved pilot course, he could attend university, and request that his new course of study is within the same guidelines for intl student visa. In most cases, the immigration people will be ok with that, provided it's an accredited school. However, the sponsor in China is likely not going to supply expenses for the new course of study, so he's on the hook for paying tuition, and living.
As for the pilot school admins - I think they are in for a world of hurt from the state. Pretty much everything said on that tape and their actions are going to bury them.
